Your favorite oddball couple is back. Venom hit theaters back in 2018 and gave us Tom Hardy’s strange and wonderful performance as both Eddie Brock and his powerful alien symbiote, Venom. Despite release delays due to Covid-19, the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is now out, so we can all enjoy even more of these Marvel characters’ increasingly strange—and close—relationship.

In the 2018 film, we meet Eddie Brock (Hardy), an investigative journalist hellbent on bringing injustice to light. When looking into a research facility and its shady experiments, he discovers an alien creature who attaches itself to him. It’s destructive, chaotic, and yearns to eat people. And it’s name is Venom.

Venom, a symbiote, bonds with Eddie and by the end of the film, they decide to team up and stop crimes (kinda). And also eat people. But, in predictable superhero movie fashion, there’s a clear lead-in to the movie’s sequel. In a final scene, Eddie visits a prison where Woody Harrelson plays serial killer Cletus Kasady, a serial killer who promises to bring “carnage.” See where we’re going with this?

Now Venom: Let There Be Carnage is out, introducing yet another symbiote, this one bonded with Kasady. It’s up to Eddie and Venom to stop Carnage before he, well, brings carnage. That said, there’s only one way to watch Venom 2 right now.

How to Watch Venom 2

Unlike other Marvel characters’ films, the Venom movies are distributed by Sony Pictures, not Marvel/Disney. That means Venom 2 won’t be available on a streaming service (yet) on release, and can only be seen in theaters.

And since Sony hasn’t announced any hybrid release deals with major streaming services, it’s unlikely Venom 2 will appear on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime or HBO Max in the near future (many Sony films eventually land on Starz, though, if you have a subscription there). If you want to watch the film at home, it’ll likely be a couple months wait before a digital release.
